Support for Pregnancy, Postpartum, + Navigating the Pressure of Modern Motherhood ✨

You thought you'd feel more joy than this.
You thought it would get easier by now.
But instead, you’re:

  • 🌿 Crying in the shower, snapping at your partner + feeling out of control

  • 🌿 Overstimulated, touched out, + always on edge

  • 🌿 Exhausted but unable to rest because your mind never shuts off

  • 🌿 Every decision — from feeding to sleep to screen time — feels like it’s being judged or compared to how your mom or mother-in-law did it… and your patience for them is wearing thin

  • 🌿 Isolating yourself from others because being around other people feels too overwhelming

  • 🌿 Constantly scrolling social media + wondering how every other mom seems to have it all together

Let’s be clear: you’re not doing anything wrong. You’re living in a culture that forgot moms need support too.

Motherhood Is Beautiful... and Lonely ✨

From the outside, everything seems like it’s going well. Morning walks at Moonlight Beach. Baby yoga. Farmers markets. Green smoothies. Well-dressed toddlers and perfectly filtered Instagram stories.

But inside your home, the relationship with your partner — and your mind — the story feels very different.

  • ✨ You’re doing everything “right,” but you still feel completely unfulfilled.

  • ✨ You’re overstimulated, exhausted, and touched out by 10am.

  • ✨ You're carrying resentment, sadness, or grief that won’t go away.

Being a mom in Encinitas doesn’t make you immune to the mental load, identity loss, + burnout that modern motherhood brings. Especially if you’re the one holding it all together — while no one asks how you’re doing.

Hi, I’m Alexa — Therapist for Moms and Mom of Two ✨

I get it because I’ve lived it.

I’m not just a licensed therapist — I’m a San Diego based mom of two young kids, navigating the chaos of modern motherhood alongside you. My work is dedicated to helping other high-achieving women who feel like they’ve “lost themselves” somewhere between pregnancy, birth, and endless piles of laundry.

I created Therapy for California Moms to be the space I wish I had when I was struggling — where you can drop the guilt, cry if you need to, and finally talk about what’s really going on without judgment.

I specialize in working with:

Hey, I’m Alexa.

  • ✨ Licensed Therapist

  • ✨ Mom of Two

  • ✨ Human who has been through my own journey healing from Postpartum Depression + Anxiety

You’re Allowed to Need Support ✨

If you’re pregnant or postpartum in Encinitas and feeling anxious, irritable, sad, or completely unlike yourself — you don’t have to wait until you “have it all figured out” to get help. Therapy is a space to:

  • 🌸 Be seen and heard without judgment

  • 🌸 Understand what’s going on beneath the surface

  • 🌸 Learn how to manage anxiety, rage, guilt, and grief

  • 🌸 Reconnect with your identity outside of being a mom

  • 🌸 Build boundaries, rest, and regulate your nervous system

  • 🌸 Feel more grounded — even when life is still messy + chaotic

Therapy for Pregnancy, Postpartum, and Beyond ✨

Whether you’re:

  • Pregnant and not bonding the way you thought you would

  • Recovering from a traumatic birth or NICU stay

  • Crying more days than not — even though you “should be happy”

  • Feeling disconnected from your partner or struggling with intimacy

  • Missing your old self and wondering if she’s ever coming back

…you are not alone. You are not broken. And you don’t have to push through this by yourself.

Therapy That Fits Into Your Life ✨

You don’t need to get in the car, find a sitter, or show up with a clean house. All sessions are held virtually, so you can join from your bedroom, your car, or while your baby naps next to you.

I see clients across California, and I work frequently with women in Encinitas, Carlsbad, Solana Beach, Cardiff-by-the-Sea, + North County San Diego. This isn’t about fixing you It’s about helping you feel more like you again — confident, calm, connected. You deserve more than survival mode. You deserve to feel steady in your body and at peace in your mind.

Together, we’ll focus on:

  • ✨ Reducing anxiety and intrusive thoughts

  • ✨ Understanding your triggers and how to respond to them

  • ✨ Soothing your nervous system and managing sensory overload

  • ✨ Naming and processing big emotions — like rage, grief, or disappointment

  • ✨ Rebuilding your sense of identity and agency as a woman, not just a mother
